Here the call for gathering will find a response in the greatest number of people, who are really ready to be directed decisively towards the future of the kingdom of God. It is just the poorest and most underprivileged people who will welcome the spontaneity and unconditional character of the miracle of Pentecost with the greatest trust and joy.

The root of life is the spirit of joy which starts to grow when life is kindled. When the soul is fired by the Holy Spirit, then it triumphs in the body; a great flame of new life leaps up.

We are reborn through the living Word of God and through the moving Spirit of Jesus Christ. The strength and might of God does not live in pale recollection. It does not work in dead learning. The Word of truth which brings forth the new life must ever anew show itself to be living and powerful in our hearts, if our spirit is not to fall a prey to death.
